Add and Clip

I am always looking for easy to use math centers for my room.  So I created this add and clip activity.  Not only can students practice their fine motor skills by using a clothes pin to identify their answer, but they also are able to count the dots which provides support for those who are still learning their facts.  It's a low prep center.  Just print, laminate and cut.







I also have a heart themed version which is perfect for Valentine's Day or even just to use all year.


You can find both products here in my Teacher's Pay Teachers Store.

What's the Missing Letter: Christmas Edition

So learning how to put things in alphabetical order is such an important and yet boring skill.  So to help my students practice abc order and fluency in a fun way I created this product that is the perfect center for the upcoming Christmas season.


This fun activity allows students to fill in the missing alphabet letter with an expo marker and comes in an upper case and lower case set.  My students were excited to be able to use the expo markers with this center.  It was an instant hit.

Christmas Sight Word Practice

Sight Word practice is so important and instead of using flash cards I love to use games.  A class favorite is our sight word spinners.  Here is a sample of our color and black and white version.






The average child needs 4-14 exposures to a word to make it stick, which requires lots of repetition. Each spinner covers 5 sight words which makes reinforcement easily manageable and still fun.

These spinners are easy prep.  Just print, add a paper clip and pencil to your station and you are ready to go.  Students can either color a box every time they spin a word or they can write the word in the box.  These are great for morning work or centers.  You can find them here in my Teachers Pay Teachers Store.
